I have no sound coming from my speakers on my computer. Do any of you know what the problem could be?
people, of course they are plugged in and turned on. I am not that stupid!

This is a new comouter, only 6 months old, i bought new speakers two months ago and they worked up until a few days ago. I plugged in the old speakers, still no sound.

Go to mycomputer icon and right click (click on properties) you should have the systems screen pop up go to hardware and click on device manager make sure you have no unknown hardware if you do that may be the you may need the driver for the sound card.
you can also just restart the PC complete or you can also go to start-control panel-sound and audio devices and make sure that the correct sound card is default most computer's these days have two so check it out....

Make sure your Sound Driver isn't disabled; it may have inadvertently disabled itself during shutdown: Go to Device Manager (Start> RightClick My Computer> Properties> Hardware Tab> Device Manager) and right click on your sound driver and choose enable. If not, try updating the driver, which will effectively restore it to factory settings if there's an update available. If you don't know the name of you Sound Driver, so to Start> Run> dxdiag. Now go to the Sound Tab and any sound hardware installed is listed. If that still doesn't work, the driver may have been uninstalled. If so, go to your computer's manufacturer's website and go to the "Support" section. There should be a link for drivers. You will need to know your computer's model, but once you enter that it will give you an option to download any missing drivers. Just find the Sound Driver and install it. Hope that helps =]

I am a professional developer with Microsoft, and have about 10 years of experience in the field of Computer Engineering. Most problems with PC's are the result of malicious software that infected a Computer. Examples of this are things such as malware, viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, root kits, and worms. In other cases, they are the result of stability issues due to crashes, freezes, or Hardware Issues. Some examples of hardware issues could be a dirty cooling fan causing the computer to overheat, or low memory due to lack of RAM, which could cause the PC to run slowly. You may think it could be a virus, or malware, or registry issues, but it could be something else entirely. As a computer layman, one may find it hard to really ascertain what exactly is causing the problems, without having a professional do an in depth analysis of your PC.
As professional computer repairs can be quite costly, I would recommend to you a Software that many of us in the tech department here at Microsoft use personally and professionally to diagnose and repair computer problems very quickly. It is a software called Reimage, from https://tr.im/ReimageRepairs .. In my personal experience, and in the experience of many of my associates, this is probably the best software ever created for those experiencing computer troubles. This is likely to remedy just about ANY problem your computer could possibly be having, and have it running like new. Reimage has won several awards, and been featured in publications such as PC Mag.

What software are you using to listen? I have had that trouble with media player 11. Also check all connections, and go to sound under control panel and check your software. Be sure mute has not been checked. Go to my computer right click and choose manager to see that all elements such as codec etc are not marked with an yellow exclamation point. If anything is reinstall all sound software.
